Danny Collins is a dramatic comedy film that revolves around the life of the titular character, a renowned rock star in the 1970s who is now in his twilight years. The story takes a turn when his manager and best friend Frank Grubman (played by Christopher Plummer) presents him with a long-lost letter that was written to Danny by his idol and legendary musician, John Lennon, over four decades ago.
Feeling inspired and reevaluating his life choices, Danny becomes deeply moved by the contents of the letter, which encourages him to stay true to his artistic integrity and not lose sight of his dreams. The impact of this message leads Danny to question the path his career has taken, as he realizes that he has compromised his musical authenticity in the pursuit of commercial success.
Motivated by the letter, Danny embarks on a journey to reconnect with his estranged son, Tom Donnelly (played by Bobby Cannavale), who he has always neglected due to his fame and lifestyle. He travels to New Jersey to meet Tom, his wife, and their young daughter. While initially skeptical and resentful, Tom allows Danny into his life, albeit cautiously.
During his time in New Jersey, Danny also strikes up a romantic relationship with Mary Sinclair (played by Annette Bening), the manager of the hotel he is staying at. Mary is an authentic and grounded woman who allows Danny to rediscover his own authenticity and encourages him to make amends and rebuild his relationships.
As Danny begins to connect with his son, he faces the consequences of his past actions and attempts to make up for lost time. He also endeavors to produce new music that truly reflects his artistic values. However, the obstacles of fame, addiction, and years of distance strain Danny's relationships and his own ability to change.
Throughout the film, the letter from John Lennon serves as a constant reminder to Danny of the person he aspired to be and the choices he needs to make to find fulfillment and happiness. Undertaking this journey of self-reflection and redemption, Danny Collins struggles to transform himself and repair the broken relationships he left behind in pursuit of fame and fortune.
The film beautifully captures Danny's personal growth as he navigates the complexities of fame, family, and his own identity, ultimately culminating in a poignant and emotional climax that challenges him to make the difficult choices necessary to become the person he always wanted to be.
